Your Hate Has Poisoned Me

         O World, your hate has poisoned me

        Once I felt that peace was just a shout away
        Endless war now seems a single shot away

        Once I looked for the good in folks 
        Now I automatically suspect a hoax

        Once I dreamt of nations collaborating on common goals
        Now a new arms race has vanquished arms control

        Once nations offered land for peace 
        Not today ~ Will hate and murder ever cease

Joe Dimino Date: 5/24/2025 10:28:00 AM I know...heartbreaking. On and on, endless cycles of needless pain and suffering. No logic, no acceptable motive to most wars...pure evil, no other explanation. Blessings my friend. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/25/2025 9:38:00 PM Blessings returned to you, Joe. Hope all is well. ~ Gershon
